After their long battle of wills, Anthony has finally gotten Kate to agree to marry him, but he has real reason to fear she won't go through with it, and every reason to believe the battle is far from over! This story is based on the TV show Bridgerton (British Regency romance), but you don't need any knowledge of the show. This story has been designed (and tested on fandom-blind beta readers!) to make it enjoyable as a standalone piece. This is a canon-compliant follow-up (missing scenes before the epilogue, really) to the S2 finale. [Rated Mature for sexual content.]
